Cathy's Story
Life
Since I only attended New Trier my junior and senior years, I was not really well known. However, I was and have continued to be extremely outgoing with bouts of leadership thrown in. I attended Oklahoma State University where I earned two B.S. degrees in Biology/Zoology and Business. I have lived in Michigan for several years where my husband earned his Ph.D. (from MSU). We raised our two daughters in this great state with frequent 'road trips' to Chicago, Indiana, Oklahoma and yes...Hawaii. I was in Advertising where I went from the 'comptroller' to Production Manager to Sales Executive to Executive Director. I owned my own bookstore after leaving my job of 12 years.

I have been recognized by the State of Michigan twice for my volunteer work and I enjoy my family, friends, pets and life very much! I missed a 'full' high school opportunity due to my parents divorce...heck, my mother even moved us out of state (40 miles) where I was asked "Does it snow in Indiana?" Hello? It would be nice to reconnect with the few friends I did make so late in my school life...they were important!
